Additional Information
Inspiration : Trolltunga is one of the most spectacular scenic cliff on Mount Skjeggedal. It is located about 25 km from the town of Odda and majestically overlooks above the Lake Ringedalsvatn in Norway. As far as the technical side of my work is concerned, I used the stone "Gray mountain", which unlike all other stones was very suitable for this project. The highlight of this work is the creation of imitation of a lake in the aquarium. I wanted to create an illusion of a larger lake and reflection of light from the lake I installed a mirror in such a fashion that it looked like surface of the lake but without producing any glare.
